Summary

Buffalo Bills face a critical primetime showdown against the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium, seeking redemption from last season’s upset. Can Josh Allen’s prolific scoring and James Cook’s explosive rushing keep the Bills’ playoff hopes alive—especially with a weakened run defense against Houston’s evolving offensive line? The stakes soar as both teams fight for postseason positioning amidst surprise division contenders like the Colts and a revitalized New England squad. John Hickman and Joe Marino break down pivotal matchups, including the chess game between coaches DeMeco Ryans and Joe Brady, the impact of missing stars like C.J. Stroud and Jalen Pitre, and the red zone woes that haunt Houston’s comeback bid. Hear expert analysis on Buffalo’s rebuilt secondary, the Texans’ front seven power, and whether Davis Mills can deliver under pressure. Who has the edge in this playoff race—and what matchups will decide it on Thursday night?
